AAP MP Raghav Chadha called for introduction of joint ITR filing for married couples, noting how income distribution can change income tax eligibility. Chadha said a couple earning ₹10 lakh each pays nil tax, while a husband earning ₹20 lakh pays ₹1.92-lakh tax despite his wife being a homemaker. "More people will get married to utilise this benefit," he joked.
